8:22 The Ice Elves, or Ice Slayers, have another name that got used in some translations "Hyakki". I looked into it and it's actually a way cooler name than "Ice Slayers". The word "Hyakki" comes from the Hyakki Yagyo, which is from Japanese Folklore and it translates to "One-Hundred Demon Night Parade". So, calling them "Hyakki" is basically calling them "One-Hundred Demons". Also, moving in a synchronized, organized fashion as a military fore is called a parade. So, the name "Hyakki" is accurate, alludes to folklore, and sounds way cooler. I was actually a little saddened when I saw that the anime translated it as "Ice Slayers" instead of "Hyakki".
Here is a bit of context, for a gate to turn to a red gate it has to be a minimum of B rank gate atleast, and that was a C rank gate, or atleast they thought it was a C rank gate. So, basically the magic power of that gate was determined wrong by the Guild staff (resulting in it being categorised as C rank) and hence we see Hunter Baek (Guild Leader of White Tiger Guild) surprised when he is told that the gate turned red as it was not supposed to turn red
It's funny because I'm constantly suggested YT Shorts that portray Jinah going after Jinwoo in a very.. "onii-chan" brother/sister Hx anime way lol so the start of this ep gave me whiplash from that. Brandon's "Bear Hands" joke nearly went over my head, even with the repeat lol. Nice one.
@@shadowproductions969 Yeah if you know, you know. It's nice though that even I who barely remembers the source material and has an idea of what is to come... still watched this ep. with a fat smile on my face.
Manwha has some of the best art I've seen, particularly in the use of color, so that was the thing I was most worried about with the anime. Very happy with how much budget and care they've put into the visuals.
We are so back to 😂 and omg I never even thought about ice elves season 2 definitely gave us a good intro can't wait for more! LMAO "betas recognize alpha... Instinctually!" 🤣🤣😭 Yes Nathan you already know
The pacing is incredibly fast once again. Having seen the 1st two episodes when they were aired in theater early december, I was surprised how fast it went. After all, knowing where they probably try to get before the end of the season, it's no wonder, but still ... other shows would usually milk the content as far as possible. Pleasantly surprised.
they cut two scenes or shots. when he switcfhes titles the manwha shows him jumping and punching down on that bears skull. and the second was when they''re roasting meat it shows him doing pull ups to still hit his daily goals
@VirtuousWanderer i would agree if they didn't make it look like he was leaning on his summons for the entire episode other than the arrow catch. Him punching the bears brains in really adds to the narrative. Him still doing the daily quest add to the system. And how he's still beholden to it. Because he's a battle mage that just happens to be a necromancer.
@@aristothethrone9032 Even though they don't show it, they still provide the context. They cut the punch scene to the final result of the fight, and for his daily quests they also indirectly tell us with "doing exercise" (because that's what it looks like to other people), it's just that many people miss it
@@Luxius. Show don't tell. and this is a tent of story telling. but this just further illustrates that when korean work is adapted in japan they keep cutting frames. the cut from the bear to the fire feels like forced comedic effect without showing him being a badass before hand. them saying exercising but it cuts to him going to slaughter the bears instead of having to actually work out for the daily quest doesn't impact us with the sense of his weariness towards the system. they did massive cuts for god of highschool and they're doing massive cuts for tower of god. and nobele4ese was just a trash adaptation all around.
2:55 Hmm 16:42 This scene was slightly changed and I really hope they don't do this again, it becomes a bit of a gag later but they removed the most important part, Igris catches the bears head and brings it to him and treats it just like you said, bringing his master a trophy. I hope they don't remove this in the future again. This first episode is very close to the manhwa with some minor changes and omissions, obviously some dialog but also the number of people entering the gate and the interaction outside the red gate isn't quite right, hopefully they are just saving that for the next episode. Its pretty minor stuff though so I think its just to save time and budget, but I really hope they don't rush it. The manhwa is about 180 regular chapters and 20 epilogue chapters. The first season was 45 chapters so if they keep the same pace it would be 4 season of 12-13 episodes at about 45 chapters each then maybe a few bonus episodes for the 20 chapters of epilogue story. I hope they do that and don't try to cram it in 3 short seasons or something like that.
since solo leveling, manwhas about necromancers multiply like rabbits and they destroy the genre, they are some that are very good tho but a lot of generic ones
Nope. Jinwoo is High A rank. That kim guy who is also a A rank couldnt even feel the arrow while Jinwoo had already sensed the ice elves and caught the arrow like nothing and when fighting the bears the A rank had full gears and top weapons with a full team while Jinwoo was just throwing hands with no efforts. And the last line he didnt say he was definitely weaker than Igris if i can remember Igris power were nerfed bc jinwoo didnt have enough mana to make igris as strong as he originally was so jinwoo was referring to igris before he was a shadow. To conclude, Both jinwoo and shadow igris are High A rank (Igris might win in a fight bc of experience and skill and the sword) and are abt to reach the lowest of S rank as we know if jinwoo grows stronger so does his army.
Igris: pops that bears grape
Jin-woo: "damn that could of been me"
It would Be Worse as Igris Got Weaker As A shadow Meaning he was a Max Level Elite Knight aka LV 20 or LV1 Night Commander when He was "alive".
I wouldn't call it a shadow army ... yet.
Shadow platoon?
As a manhwa reader I agree with you 💀
I’ve read the manwha and yeah in the future it’s gonna get really big just you wait oh I’m excited😁😁😁😁
Yeah it’s only the first ep of s2. But we all know where this is going.
Probably talking about the 3rd or 4th season if it gets animated. 😅
Igris cooking the bear leader.
Jinwoo: Wow! (Secretly has a man crush on his Shadow Commander 😂).

17:27 that elf face... Scary :O
11:38 I knew that coat flip would put a smile on your face.

I was watching this episode and thought to myself:wait.... I've seen this episode.
And then I realised it was just me remembering the the books 😂

Sister Leveling is an experience
@@lopezroilans.8384 Don't give these crazy anime writers any ideas!
@@Timmycoo it already exists
@@lopezroilans.8384 I know. I was being super sarcastic, which does not go over well on the internet lol :P
You... _bearly_ caught that one, huh?
Did you have to _paws_ and go back?
he earned the ability to " wakey-wakey" xD
The only thing that saved Jin was Igris's chivalry. If he just mindlessly attacked Jin during his job change quest, Jin would've died.
Yeah Igris could've smoked him. But I do love them together because of the last 2 eps lol.
Chivalry and mercy is weakness. I learned that from Claymore.
chivalry and a promise Igris made before he fought Jinwoo.. though the won't be talked about for a long time
@@shadowproductions969 Yeah if you know, you know. It's nice though that even I who barely remembers the source material and has an idea of what is to come... still watched this ep. with a fat smile on my face.
Solo Leveling... _with 20 dudes in my back pocket._ He's becoming his own single person guild.
🐐Ice🔥elves are officially my favorite enemy type in the series,currently

Igris just makes me think of Artorias the Abysswalker.
As during season 1, the anime does a poor job at explaining things, but it still works because it's cool XD

Rumors are season2 is up to end of Jeju Island Arc, which is a lot of content in manhwa chapters maybe 60 to 70 ish.
they cut two scenes or shots. when he switcfhes titles the manwha shows him jumping and punching down on that bears skull. and the second was when they''re roasting meat it shows him doing pull ups to still hit his daily goals
Also cut his preparation of his glow-up.
Eh, just a small amount of trimmed fat to get the last scene of A-Rank Kim getting folded into the episode.

Currently sung strengh is like mid rank A since he is a little weaker than igris who is mid-high rank A
Nope. Jinwoo is High A rank. That kim guy who is also a A rank couldnt even feel the arrow while Jinwoo had already sensed the ice elves and caught the arrow like nothing and when fighting the bears the A rank had full gears and top weapons with a full team while Jinwoo was just throwing hands with no efforts.
